She left July and Jolane in the doorway, walked to her room, and grabbed her sword, still wrapped in fabric.

"I don't know what you just saw there, but what I saw was a girl who has been manipulated, and possibly abused, for far too long.

"Tomorrow I'll be working with the Tavernkeeprr directly and I'll ask him about things, maybe snoop around a little. You can spend time with Jolane. We'll make a plan from there."

Through The Living Glass She/Her Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Quote *time skip commences* THE NEXT MORNING: When Niamh awoke, her skin was damp, her clothes were rumpled, and her hair and eyelashes were speckled with dew. She yawned sleepily and stretched, noting that the sun was barely peaking over the horizon. She swung her legs off the hammock and slipped her boots on, changed her outfit, and combed her hair. Then she grabbed her instruments and the tin cup (which she had emptied into her coin pouch the night before), and headed back into the tavern. She opened the door and found Robert walking into the back room. "Hey, Rob," she called, amused. "How 'bout something to eat?" Quote Just realized. Y'all should probably know that Niamh is pronounced "Neve," not "Nim" or "Niam." It's Irish and I liked it. Hehehe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
